Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Selects Oct. 13 As The Release Date For DVD And Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack Editions Of The Gallows

Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has tabbed Oct. 13 as the
street for both DVD and Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack editions of the directing and
writing team of Travis Cluff and Chris Lofing’s “haunted house” thriller (it actually
takes place in a high school auditorium), The Gallows.

This indie pickup by the studio was released theatrically in
early July and pulled in box office receipts of $22.6 million.That’s not bad for a film that sports a
little-known cast and the all-too-common hand held camera narrative as its main
chill generator.

The ARR is 95 days.

The film begins with a prologue that shows some video clips
from a high school play, titled “The Gallows,” from 20 years ago at Beatrice
High School that went horribly wrong.One of the actors, Charlie (Jesse Cross), is to be hanged on stage as
part of the play, but instead of it being a “pretend” event, he is actually
killed in front of a packed house.

It’s now 20 years later and the school has decided to
present an anniversary edition of the play as a tribute to poor Charlie.And here is where the fun begins as four
students — Reese (Reese
Mishler), Pfeifer (Pfeifer
Brown, Ryan (Ryan
Shoos) and Cassidy (Cassidy Gifford) — break into the auditorium to
wreck the set, but soon find themselves trapped and unable to get out.

Of course it is not as it seems and before the night ends
three of the kids will be dead!!!

As to bonus goodies, both SKUs include a gag reel, deleted
scenes and the featurette titled “Charlie: Every School has its Spirit.”Exclusive to the Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack are
two additional featurettes.

Also added to the DVD release calendar this past week by
Warner Bros. Home Entertainment are two four-film collections showcasing the
star power of Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy.These will be available on Sept. 15.
